I just started reading this manga, and I hate to admit it already, but it's terrible… it sucks big time. Thus far, the pacing is extremely bad, the main character is particularly unlikable, and the storyline appears to be sub par. It has a lot of hype behind it and that’s basically why I’m wondering if the story ever lives up to it? Or is all the hype just because of the nice artwork and all the blood and nudity?

Basically is it worth continuing to read?

It gets sooooooo much better. I despised the beginning as well because the main character was a prick at first. Trust me when I say you would regret it if you didn't keep reading. It's a GREAT manga series.

Same, you should totally keep reading. Its really entertaining to watch kurono grow in strength and become a better person. I could say a lot more about the great stuff in this manga, but I dont want to spoil it for you. This is probably my favourite seinen, with Berserk a close second.

i agree. Gantz is fantastic. but you've got a point with the pacing... there's a lot to be desired for in that department. but the story is pretty unique, and despite how random things may seem (the black ball being a total jerk for one thing) i'm sure its more like chaos theory, where everything SEEMS random, but is actually pretty structured. so far most of what i thought was random actually meant something. Still cant figure out about why the ball is a jerk though...
anyway. i'm babbling. READ IT. YOU WILL BE SURPRISED!!
the guys writing the script are geniuses

Thanks for everyone who advised me to keep on reading because I'm actually kind of gald I did... The pacing has gotten better (still isn't great tho) and the story is actually interesting!

Still, it would have been better if there wasn't such a long and boring opening and they didn't do such thorough backgrounds on such minor characters. But I guess you can't have everything...lol.
